Use powdered milk.


I want to play some FF8. I played FF3 all day at class, but it's not the same.

I hate wireless. Its crap in comparison to ethernet.

wired for desktop, wireless for laptop

A properly set up wireless network is pretty much indistinguishable in practice. the only time cabling is noticeably better is when you're counting data between two computers on a local network.
If you think a wireless internet connection is [I]slower[/I] than cabling it in, you're dreaming.

Gah, why did i open that.

DEP make me want to poke my ear drums out.

I like how we conveniently forgot to think about interference. Even though my network was protected, the neighbours wasnt and it interefered with it.

I dont trust wireless either, and its pointless for a desktop a few metres away from the phone outlet.

Same here apart from i use a laptop for both.

If i want to sit down i can chill in the study with it on a desk but if i want to chill in bed like now i hit the wireless router and bam im here :)

*hi5*

For transferring files from one computer to another, it can make a hell of a lot of difference. At LAN parties, I would give out my copy of Half-Life + Bunch of Mods to everybody else, and being a gig, it would take sometime even on ethernet. I can't imagine doing it on wireless.

Old connection via cabled modem = 5.4 MB/s Max was 6.2 MB one day.

Now im running a secure connection at 54MB/s :)

what's the difference between MB/s and Mbps ? Or are they the same thing?

solution, have a hard drive like mine without any windows data on it, that i just unplug and can chuck into any pc and have all my games, apps and music in 2 mins. then copy it across. 5 mins tops :P

BT phone lines cant handle that sort of speed. They can barely handle 20mb/s.

The city centre lines here can handle 24mb/s

holy crap toastie waffles are seriously the best food ever

[QUOTE=Win A Rabbit;15976703]what's the difference between MB/s and Mbps ? Or are they the same thing?[/QUOTE]

MB/s = Megabytes per second

Mbps = Megabits per second

8Mb = 1MB roughly

1 waffle is alright but after that they're disgusting


edit: thnx bobbyjohnny

[quote=Win A Rabbit;15976703]what's the difference between MB/s and Mbps ? Or are they the same thing?[/quote]

I always use MB/s when i mean Mbps.

Internet speed is Mbps (Megabits per second)

One megabit is 0.125megabytes

That would take the same amount of time, to be honest, if not more.

Besides, its called I sent out to one computer, then we both send out to two computers.

[QUOTE=Win A Rabbit;15976703]what's the difference between MB/s and Mbps ? Or are they the same thing?[/QUOTE]

No there is a big difference. It is a common ISP selling point from lack of consumer understanding in regards to megabytes vs. megabits.

Plus ISP speeds are never as fast as they claim.

I get somewhere between 6 and 7 mbps and that varies a lot.

Does anyone know where to download PSX emulator roms/bin-cues whatever without having to use torrents?

Edit: Nevermind.

my mom took the dog to get it's hair cut. we tried to do it here with an electric trimmer about a week ago, got done some of her back/the top of her head, and she was freaking out too much for anyone to finish.

yesterday was my brother's birthday and my mom bought him and electric shaver. he turned it on just to see, and the dog freaked out just from the sound and wouldn't come close to any of us for the rest of the night.

Why the hell would anybody upload FF7 on rapidshare? There are six files for each disk, and you can only download one of the files every hour and a half. Rapidshare blows.

hahahaha you call **** mate.

I'm not even with BT. why do you assume this?

Talk talk ftw. Im not even paying for this broadband :)

i think ill screenshot tbh just to help you see.

Because all broadband packages require a BT enabled line :)

And talk talk claim their broadband is only 8mbps :)

could have ntl phil...

*sigh*

Speed from router -> computer is not the same as rest of world -> computer

Also, anyone that doesn't have The Flashbulb's new album is seriously missing out. Not only is it awesome, but there's some sick drum programming on it (could be e-kit), sounds a bit vinnie-ish in places.

Whatever this means :)
